Every Proposal was subject to assessment in the two phases of the Call. The Preliminary Assessment was conducted by the Fund Secretariat. Its purpose was only to assess eligibility of the proposing organisation and the relevance of the proposed project to the objectives and scope of the Fund.  An acceptance of the eligibility of a proposal at this first stage did not imply that it had subsequently been selected to receive a grant from the Fund.  Such a decision was only taken during the assessment of the full proposals submitted as part of the Main Application Phase. The Main Assessment was on the basis of the full proposals by the Presidency Fund Board.
